D-Blue DialHonouring a historic dive
Commemorating James Cameron’s historic solo dive.
Ceramic Bezel andLuminescent DisplayLegendary divers’ watch
The 60-minute graduated, unidirectional rotatable bezel of
the Rolex Deepsea enables divers to precisely and safely
monitor their dive and decompression times. It is equipped
with a patented black Cerachrom bezel insert
manufactured by Rolex in a virtually scratchproof ceramic
whose colour is unaffected by ultraviolet rays. The
graduation is coated via PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition)
with a thin layer of platinum. The sleek black dial features
large Chromalight hour markers and hands, filled with
luminescent material that emits a long-lasting blue glow
for excellent legibility in dark conditions.
OystersteelHighly resistant tocorrosion
Rolex uses Oystersteel for its steel watch cases. Specially
developed by the brand, Oystersteel belongs to the 904L
steel family, alloys most commonly used in high-
technology and in the aerospace and chemical industries,
where maximum resistance to corrosion is essential.
Oystersteel is extremely resistant, offers an exceptional
finish once polished and maintains its beauty even in the
harshest environments.
The Oyster braceletAlchemy of form andfunction
The Oyster bracelet is a perfect alchemy of form and
function, aesthetics and technology, designed to be both
robust and comfortable. It is equipped with an Oysterlock
clasp, which prevents accidental opening, and an
ingenious Glidelock, allowing fine adjustments of the
bracelet without using any tools - and allowing it to be
worn and comfortably over a diving suit.
Waterproof SystemRobustness andreliability
A paragon of robustness and reliability, the Oyster case of
the Deepsea is guaranteed waterproof to a depth of 3,900
metres (12,800 feet). Its middle case is crafted from a solid
block of particularly corrosion-resistant Oystersteel. The
case back, edged with fine fluting, is hermetically screwed
down with a special tool that allows only Rolex
watchmakers to access the movement. This model’s 44
mm Oyster case, reinforced with the patented Ringlock
System, was designed to provide the highest degree of
resistance and reliability in a size that remains wearable
and practical.
3235 MovementSuperlative performance
The calibre 3235 is a new-generation movement entirely
developed and manufactured by Rolex. This self-winding
mechanical movement is at the forefront of the art of
watchmaking. A consummate demonstration of Rolex
technology, with 14 patents, it offers fundamental gains in
terms of precision, power reserve, resistance to shocks
and magnetic fields, convenience and reliability. It
incorporates the new Chronergy escapement patented by
Rolex, which combines high energy efficiency with great
dependability. Made of nickel-phosphorus, it is also
insensitive to magnetic interference.
